This certification is also relevant to operations engineers who deploy and maintain embedded and mission critical systems and perform organizational gap analysis.

The Internet of Things (IoT) allows organization to collect an extraordinary volume of data and new analysis tools can enable you to use this data to make well-informed decisions to be made quickly. But before you can successfully plan and implement an IoT solution, you must understand the various factors that will drive your decisions. Putting IoT systems into place can be a complicated proposition with unique considerations distinctly different from traditional IT solutions. This course will familiarize you with IoT components, understand the challenges that you may face, and make design decisions about your IoT projects.

The stakes for software security are very high, and yet many development teams deal with software security only after the code has been developed and the software is being prepared for delivery. As with any aspect of software quality, to ensure successful implementation, security and privacy issues should be managed throughout the entire software development lifecycle. This course presents an approach for dealing with security and privacy throughout the entire software development lifecycle. You will learn about vulnerabilities that undermine security, and how to identify and remediate them in your own projects. You will learn general strategies for dealing with security defects and misconfiguration, how to design software to deal with the human element in security, and how to incorporate security into all phases of development.
